Is this illegal? Theft/fraud?
    #11448842 - 11/13/09 04:02 PM (14 years, 6 months ago)

Hypothetically, Person brings plants/flowers into a florist and gets 'credit'. Person then proceeds to use this 'credit' in exchange for Item. No money is involved or passes hands. A this-for-that situation.

Person then takes Item and returns it to an entirely different type of store that carries it. Person "lost the receipt and is very certain they got it here". A gift card is given in a no-receipt return. Person uses the card to purchase things at a different store location.

Would this be considered theft? Fraud?

Item returned would theoretically be less than $200.


Please don't preach morals, values or "theft tax". Hypothetical Person is unemployed, and purchasing such things as diapers, baby formula, groceries, hygiene products, etc. while still not making ends meet at home. Just trying to survive because he or she is not receiving child support from a deadbeat.

The part where you take an item to a store and claim you bought it there when you had not is fraud. After xmas  you just say it was a gift and they told you they bought it there, this is not considered fraud. It's very unlikely to get into any trouble in the first scenario but it could happen. It would be hard for them to prove you didn't buy it there if it's the same thing they carry. What they watch for is repeats of the same thing. They will almost certainly ask for id.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

Sounds like fraud. Where do the plants/flowers come from?

What you are suggesting is generally considered "theft through deception".  Depending where you are it could also be fraud or grand theft if the amount is large enough.

The difference between the substances doesn't matter. This is a war on consciousness, on our right to the very essence of what we are. With no control over that, we have no need to speak of freedom or a free society. -fireseed

I find the whole "my drug should be legal but yours should be illegal" mindset disgusting and hypocritical. It's what George Bush and company do when they drink a cocktail and debate the best way to imprison marijuana users. -Diploid
